Use of the CQC logo

We don't allow external organisations to use our logo – including all registered providers. The only exceptions may be partner organisations that work closely with us on specific projects. In these cases, we may give permission for our logo to be used.

Our policy on the use of the logo is designed to prevent the public from being misled, as they often see a regulator’s logo as a mark of quality. For example, an unregistered service may be using our logo to imply our endorsement. Therefore, no provider – including registered providers – are allowed to use the logo. Providers who wish to show to the public that they are registered can link to our website to show our judgements about their compliance with the national standards.

The CQC logo is a registered trademark and is protected under trademark law. If an external party uses it without permission, this constitutes infringement of our trademark.
